Denver Broncos select no undrafted free agents for initial 53-man roster

The Denver Broncos finalized their initial 53-man roster on August 30, 2026, without naming any undrafted free agents to the squad. This outcome marks only the second time in 23 years that the team has excluded undrafted players from its season-opening roster. Several prospects, including Kolbe Katsis, Taurean York, Gaven Ortega, Tyler Miller, and Dallen Bentley, were under consideration but did not make the primary cut. The team intends to prioritize these players for the 17-man practice squad, pending they clear waivers. Practice squad assignments are expected to be finalized on August 31. Denver continues preparations for their regular season opener against Kansas City, scheduled for September 14.
